Post Your Scarlet-X Rig

[Trevor Meeks]

I don't really understand people buying Scarlets and selling them right off the bat... seems like an awful waste if you're only gonna use the thing once or twice.

Hahaa! Take it easy. but I know what you mean

Not anymore, he sold it to get an Epic-M! WOOT!

Holy Heck! I'm pushing my DSLR to it's absolute limits and other's are juggling Scarlets and Epics!!! *shaking my head in shame at myself*

Thing is a Scarlet is not alot of money for what it is.. but someone like me with my current circumstances, it's simple not obtainable at this point in time making me green with envy.... *looks to the sky and pleeds to the gods*

I haven't looked at this thread in a few days. My, how things have become interesting here...

18 and you own a Scarlet??? Lucky motherf... lol.

Rock on, dude!

DD.

Thanks Dave!

Seriously?

Yep.

A waste? Buying a Scarlet, using it and becoming successful enough to then go buy an EPIC sure doesn't seem like "a waste" to me. Personally, I think buying a Scarlet and putting it in a blender would be a waste. But hey, who am I to judge what people choose to put in their blenders? ;-)

By the way, I just recently had a slight change of plans. I'm keeping my Scarlet. And buying an EPIC-M later this year. (Hint, hint... 3D)

I'm also going to be changing my Scarlet rig slightly. I'll be ordering a Quad Battery Module and some REDvolt XLs next week (and eliminating the top rail system), so I'll post photos of my new rig once everything is all assembled.

Are you going to be selling your top rail system, batteries, etc.? I have the Quad Battery Module and might be willing to do a trade with you...

Right now, all I have left to sell is a DSMC 19mm Top Mount and two RED 12" Steel Rods.

Here is my Scarlet rig, in Queenstown, New Zealand.

It's been a great camera so far. TV commercials primarily. Shooting with Canon L Series Glass when on a budget and renting in Zeiss Ultra Primes when necessary.

Pretty sick looking . That touch far enough forward when you're shoulder mounted?

"Rosie" (#00903) with Wooden Camera top cheese plate, top mount 15mm lightweight, bottom riser with 15mm lightweight, side handle cheese. Love it!

Hey Ben,

Nice rig. What's the follow focus you got there? And the LCD cable...they don't look like RED cables but I don't think there is another company that makes those. What's the length there?

Cheers.

Hey Gereth,

Gotta ask you too...looks like a right-angle LCD cable on both sides. As far as I know RED doesn't make them in that length. Is this a RED cable?
cheers.

So amazing the many different ways people have there cameras setup.. very cool.

More or less. I still need a longer top rod, plus bottom rods for a lens support, onboard audio, and a top light mount.

#00029 came home yesterday.

Quick question - what kind of monitor arm is that you are mounting to the WC top plate? And how does it mount, did you need to add anything in between?

That's a noga (or similar) arm. They generally have a 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 stud to mount to a top plate or the holes in the camera, and of course a 1/4-20 stud to mount a monitor to. The handle mid-way up tightens and loosens the mechanism that allows you to bend the arm in any direction.

Trevor, love love the oconnor focus; my two big purchases next, oconnor focus and EVF; but at this point maybe more glass would be better =]. I just received the cage today, if I can find a camera I will post the new stuff.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for posting pics of your rig.
Do you know if it's possible to mount DSMC plate underneath the gunner?
Looking for on/off tripod ability with gunner staying with the camera full time.
Cheers !

Hi,

It's the Letus follow focus. Very good for the price. Much better than it should be!

18" Red EVF Cables.
